Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.

Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his bounds that he can't pass;

Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches with which he can do no good?

He has walled up my way so that I can't pass, and has set darkness in my paths.

So how can you comfort me with nonsense, seeing that in your answers there remains only falsehood?"

"Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.

or darkness, so that you can not see, and floods of waters cover you.

You say, 'What does God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?

who said to God, 'Depart from us;' and, 'What can Shaddai do for us?'

"If I go east, he is not there; if west, I can't find him;

He works to the north, but I can't see him. He turns south, but I can't catch a glimpse of him.

But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? What his soul desires, even that he does.

Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?

How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?

Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him. But the thunder of his power who can understand?"

It can't be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for its price.

It can't be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

Gold and glass can't equal it, neither shall it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.

For calamity from God is a terror to me. Because his majesty, I can do nothing.

if the men of my tent have not said, 'Who can find one who has not been filled with his meat?'

If you can, answer me. Set your words in order before me, and stand forth.

His flesh is so consumed away, that it can't be seen. His bones that were not seen stick out.

When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? Alike whether to a nation, or to a man,

Who has prescribed his way for him? Or who can say, 'You have committed unrighteousness?'

Yes, can any understand the spreading of the clouds, and the thunderings of his pavilion?

God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can't comprehend.

Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?

Teach us what we shall tell him, for we can't make our case by reason of darkness.

We can't reach Shaddai. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.

"Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, or loosen the cords of Orion?

Can you lead forth the constellations in their season? Or can you guide the Bear with her cubs?

Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you establish its dominion over the earth?

"Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, That abundance of waters may cover you?

Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go? Do they report to you, 'Here we are?'

Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of the sky,

"Can you hunt the prey for the lioness, or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,

Can you number the months that they fulfill? Or do you know the time when they give birth?

Can you hold the wild ox in the furrow with his harness? Or will he till the valleys after you?

Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?

Then I will also admit to you that your own right hand can save you.

"Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook, or press down his tongue with a cord?

Can you put a rope into his nose, or pierce his jaw through with a hook?

Can you fill his skin with barbed irons, or his head with fish spears?

None is so fierce that he dare stir him up. Who then is he who can stand before me?

Who can strip off his outer garment? Who shall come within his jaws?

Who can open the doors of his face? Around his teeth is terror.

One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

They are joined one to another. They stick together, so that they can't be pulled apart.

The flakes of his flesh are joined together. They are firm on him. They can't be moved.

If one attacks him with the sword, it can't prevail; nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.

The arrow can't make him flee. Sling stones are like chaff to him.

"I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.

For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can't live with you.

In the LORD, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your mountain."

If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?

Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.

I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me.

All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he who can't keep his soul alive.

Many, LORD, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can't be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.

In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can't see. Let their backs be continually bent.

Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.

You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?

You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can't speak.

Yes, they spoke against God. They said, "Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?"

You have taken my friends from me. You have made me an abomination to them. I am confined, and I can't escape.

For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD? Who among the sons of God is like the LORD,

The LORD reigns. He is clothed with majesty. The LORD is armed with strength. The world also is established. It can't be moved.

Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns." The world is also established. It can't be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.

Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD, or fully declare all his praise?

The LORD is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

BET. How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.

They have mouths, but they can't speak. They have eyes, but they can't see.

They have ears, but they can't hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

How can we sing the LORD's song in a foreign land?

This knowledge is beyond me. It's lofty. I can't attain it.

He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can stand before his cold?

She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.

Can a man scoop fire into his lap, and his clothes not be burned?

Or can one walk on hot coals, and his feet not be scorched?

For wisdom is better than rubies. All the things that may be desired can't be compared to it.

A man's spirit will sustain him in sickness, but a crushed spirit, who can bear?

Many men claim to be men of unfailing love, but who can find a faithful man?

Who can say, "I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin?"

A man's steps are from the LORD; how then can man understand his way?

"They hit me, and I was not hurt. They beat me, and I do not feel it. When will I wake up? I can do it again. I can find another."

Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, then I can answer my tormentor.

An evil man is snared by his sin, but the righteous can sing and be glad.

A servant can't be corrected by words. Though he understands, yet he will not respond.

"For three things the earth tremble, and under four, it can't bear up:

You can catch a lizard with your hands, yet it is in kings' palaces.

Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above rubies.

That which is crooked can't be made straight; and that which is lacking can't be counted.

I turned myself to consider wisdom, madness, and folly. For what can the man who comes after the king do? Just that which he has already done.

For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, apart from him?

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can't find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.
